Abstract

In case of the remote controllable web-camera that was took notice especially in internet real-time broadcasting systems, a great many clients connect the server of web-camera to request the service. So, the scheduling methods are important. Web-camera systems have used to the traditional FIFO(First In First Out) or SDF(Shortest Distance First) scheduling method. But they does not satisfy both the minimization of moving distance on the web-camera and the fairness on the users. In this paper, We propose the 2D scheduling method, As a result, the moving distance of the web-camera decreases compared with FIFO scheduling method. And the starvation state on the user's request does not happen compared with SDF scheduling method. Thus, if the remote controllable web-camera systems use the 2D scheduling method, they are satisfied with the minimization of moving distance on the remote controllable web-camera and the fairness on the users simultaneously. Therefore the user's satisfaction and the performance of the systems are improved.
